Mr, Swanson is looking at his new invention, a Triangle Reel on a combine that was being used in harvesting barley recently near lone. Grain-Saving Inveniion Tried A shakedown cruise or trial run on a new triangle reel hes shown almost no mechan- cal faults recently. Gar Swan son said he had thought about this type of reel for several years and built the working model this winter. A patent has been applied for. Mr. Swanson has a registration number for the model. The principal is that it is a reel of triangle design instead of the usual round design with slats, a type which doesn't get close enough to the cutter bar to get grain back into the aug er to feed into the machine sat isfactorily. On his model, the reel slats run on chains and the slats. sweep across the cutter bar forc ing grain back into the platform auger. Purpose of the new improve ment is to save heads of grain which ordinarily ride and fall off the cutter bar. Mr. Swanson calls it a triangle reel for com bines, to save grain. He said the model appears successful on tangled and blown down barley. It seems to have the tendency to make a really even feed into the combine. Experienced farmers believe the theory is real good. The Swansons will be run ning soon on wheat near the Paul Tews place. He said this would be a good location to view the new model at work.
